Dr Alina Enista flew to Los Angeles and attended the first Bioenergy Life Project organized by Zoran Hochstatter. The

report she contributed takes us with her on her path of discovery. This clinic had a major focus on MS, Parkinson’s and Neurological diseases.

Bioenergy Life Project:

Using The Zdenko Domancic Method

by Alina Enista PhD

Although the practical benefits of the complementary medicine have, in more than few occasions, proven remarkable, the energy healing is still a challenging and controversial subject to talk about. Why? Too vast to be described and too immaterial to be quantified, the domain of energy healing is still in the process of finding its limits.

Having been surfing the field of the esoteric healing for a while, I have learned that I should leave out the tendency to explain, define and classify my experiences and my findings. To paraphrase one of Einstein‘s favorite quotes, the learning starts where prejudice ceases to interfere.

I cannot list any particular reasons I chose to attend the clinic event organized by the Bioenergy Life Project in Los Angeles. I was superficially familiar with Zdenko Domancic‘ s method, which, as the introductory leaflet was saying, was a ―precise, effective, and highly structured technique to strengthen the immune system and eliminate the debilitating symptoms of any illness.

It happened that I had a multitude of debilitating symptoms to report, most of them pertaining to my mobility, flexibility of my spine and limbs and coordination. Whatever diagnosis the medical world boxed me in, I have stubbornly thought of my problems as dis-eases or dis-harmonies of my auto-immune system and as stubbornly have tried to make use of any esoteric means of improvement, as the essential possibility to cure.

Organized by Zoran and Stephanie Hochstatter, the clinical setting I come into in Los Angeles seems more like a cocktail party than a healing environment: most of the chairs were positioned close to the walls, forming a large space in the middle, where there were four ―healing stations furnished with four chairs each. The background music, the open doors to the Marina, the casual conversations among the thirty or forty people present in the room makes the atmosphere both pleasant and intimidating. Most of us are not used to being exposed to other people‘s scrutiny, when we consult a healer, regardless whether he is a physician or an energy worker. Sharing vulnerabilities has been a private occasion, in our culture. And privacy is an American sanctified right. But there is exactly this lack of privacy that has gradually become the most important element of the healing experience. Accessible to anyone interested to witness it, the procedure is almost indefinable in words. Zoran, who looks like a troubadour with his long white hair and eyes that seem to scan anything in his visual field, claps his hands and invites his team to begin the ministrations of healing. Alex, from Hawaii, pairs up with Mateja , from Slovenia, Sonja, from London, works with Janez, from Slovenia, and Kristen, from Canada pairs up with Zdravko, also from Slovenia.

From this moment on, the experience of healing becomes an individual and deeply private paradigm. Since my own experience is the only one fully accessible to me I will share this one with the readers.

The introduction is short and simple. I say my name, Kristen‘s and Zdravko‘s introduce themselves, few words about alleged diagnosis and main symptoms. I close my eyes and feel the air flowing around me, in a different density and direction. I imagine that the therapists‘ hands are sweeping away the impurities of my energy field, the resistance, prejudice, fear and all the malignant contents that have been feeding the symptoms I have been complaining about. Once in a while, I open my eyes and watch the

hands that dance around my body or rest on my chest, my head or my arms. The touch is gentle and nurturing. I feel like I‘m in a cradle, with the air dislocated by Kristen‘s and Zdravko‘s palms rocking me into a dreaming mood. I know that there is no way that my mind would give up questioning, doubting and speculating so I make as many assumptions as I could, sharing some with my healers. I ask about energetic blocks in my system, about anxiety or about the pain in my lower back. Kristen smiles enigmatically and reassures me that I am all right, that they will deal with blockages and pains in a due time. I feel my body swaying like a willow and wonder whether I was pushed by the sweep of their hands or it is just the energy circulating and taking me within. What does it matter, I wonder? I should not know. I should just wallow in this feeling of relaxation and warm empowerment.

That afternoon, for the second session, I move to a different healing station. I realize that I am in search of something, but there is no clue what that ―something‖ may be. Maybe an explanation of what has been happening to my energy field. I resist, stubbornly, to acknowledge that my vitality has changed and a fresh energy flows unhindered throughout my system. I turn to Sonia and Janez, for help. With a gentle motion of their hands over my head, they remove my anxiety.

I open my eyes and scan the stage of our healing. To my right, attended by Alex and Mateja, is Brock, a young man with severe MS. I talked to him earlier. I could see how after thirty years of wheelchair it is almost impossible to entertain any hopes. Yet, he is here. Yet, his eyes look at his healers with a heartbreaking impatience. One more try, he told me, one more attempt to feel some vitality running through his system.

On the other side of the room, Zoran works on a young woman whose hands are shaking uncontrollably. Like attracted by a magnet, her body moves slowly towards Zoran‘s hands. Unseen ties seem to lift her head, shoulders and chest and she steps into the open space following her stretched arms. Her hands are steady. No tremor. She bursts into tears, dancing and waving her hands in the air, for all of us to see.

In the following two days, moments like the one described above multiply. The energy in the room becomes nurturing and stable. People talk to each other, exchange impressions and compliment each other‘s signs of improvement. The lack of privacy of the treatment space becomes a huge benefit. Emotionally, we participate to each other‘s healing. We become an inseparable part of this energy field that supports and unites us.

At the end of the third or forth session, Diane, a woman in her mid fifties who came from Sacramento, starts dancing. It was one of her dreams, after she was diagnosed with Parkinson‘s. She moves gently through the space, enjoying her flexibility and harmony.

It was only a day or two ago when she told me how embarrassed she felt for being ill. There is no discomfort in her dance now. Something magical has been awakened in her. Maybe self-confidence. Maybe hope. She seems ready to become her own healer.

Later on, I watch Kate who only two days ago was totally immobilized in her wheelchair like in a cage. The caretaker who accompanied her was lifting her legs, one by one, to move them from one uncomfortable position to another. And here she is now, after the fifth or sixth session, smiling and rubbing her palms together as she saw the healers doing. Her face is relaxed and bright. Helped by her caretaker and one of the healers she lifts her body out of the wheelchair stretching herself upwards. She takes few timid steps into the unknown of health. We all applaud frantically.

While Zoran works on my energy field, I try, surreptitiously, to probe into some of the issues and questions I have been struggling with in the last few days. Are there any tricks involved? Any illusions? Or miracles?

―Bioenergy is not a trick nor is this a miracle, he says. ― It is life energy that appears as a dynamic web all over us.

Since we all move within this energetic field we leave behind a pathway of data, messages from our system. In healing, we don‘t do anything but access the information saved in the field of your body. We try to clean up the malignant frequencies in order to enhance the functions of the organs in need of help. When one practices the technique exactly as he or she was trained then the results show immediately. A healer does not interpret or diagnose, does not judge or predict. A healer gets the healing information and simply transmits it onto the patient‘s system. This is like a ―jump start‘. From here on the body learns to heal itself.

And there he is, my friend Brock in the last day of the clinic, learning how to heal himself. He moved his wheelchair out of the isolation and seeks people to chat with. He wants to know what other forms of healing he can seek. The tension that had surrounded his presence at the beginning seemed to have melted into a relaxed and pleasant self-awareness. Something in his attitude has changed. He is reaching out in search of support and hope. For the last treatment, four of the healers are working on him. They seem to perform a ritual that only they could understand. Motion by motion, they open up channels of communication and relief. One can see Brock‘s face getting mellow and calm. When his caretaker tries to help him straighten up his body a barely visible, but voluntary motion stops her. Brock wants to stand up on his own. We all watch and wait. And he does. For a second or for a minute, his upright body vibrates the

sense of victory. We cheer him up and almost push him out of his wheelchair when we come close to congratulate him.

The proof is in the results, Zoran had told me earlier.

And he was right.
